1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. "You, therefore, son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre.
3. And you shall say to Tyre, which lives at the entrance to the sea, which is the marketplace of the peoples for the many islands: Thus says the Lord God: O Tyre, you have said, 'I am of perfect beauty,
4. for I have been positioned at the heart of the sea!' Your neighbors, who built you, have filled up your beauty.
